CM Chicken | Burnaby — Restaurant in Burnaby

This fried chicken restaurant has a 4.9 star on google review! Of course I must come and try it!!

My husband and I ordered half order of the original bonelsss fried chicken, fish cake soup and spicy fish cake. All of them tasted excellent especially the fried chicken was VERY crispy outside and VERY juicy inside!!! My goodness. I was addicted to it!!! I would love to go back and try other flavours of the fried chicken! The fish cake soup tasted great with lots of ingredients. The spicy fish cake was very very spicy even though I asked for mild. I had to drink a lot of water lol but I still felt the spicy fish cake was so good!!!

The restaurant was very busy and they got many takeout orders as well. I hope they will continue to be busy and run well.

One thing they could improve was their menus. Not sure if the restaurant is still new testing the market. The menus were printed on paper. Some of them were already broken or ripped off. They didn’t look good or professional. The restaurant might print proper menus in the...

Heard positive reviews about this newer eatery and their Korean chicken, and it didn't disappoint. The rice cake skewers had a glutinous texture and kick with its garlic spicy sauce. For those who can't tolerate spice, you'll want to ask for a glass of water on hand! Had their Bacon Spinach and Lemon Green Onion chicken. Both were very flavourful, and the chicken fairly tender and moist (we ordered boneless). The Bacon Spinach included tomatoes and onions as a topping, adding a unique flavour profile. For 2 people, 1 order of chicken and 1 size is likely not enough for dinner if you're hungry, but with 2 orders of chicken we ended up with leftovers. We'd be interested in trying their dine-in only combo plates in the future for some more variety! There are photos of some CM Chicken dishes on one wall, but unfortunately, many of these are not (yet?) available at this location....

Food was good - but the thing that seems consistent with other low reviews is that the server with the checked shirt on this particular occasion was rude.

Friendly service up until, by honest mistake, I misclicked the tip percentage to 1% instead of 10%

The waitresses attitude flipped and she said “The tip is not included” which confused me as I did tip. But it wasn’t the amount she was expecting.

She showed me the pinpad and I saw my error, to which she sharply said “You’re only going to tip 1%?”

Had she addressed the situation in a non-confrontational way, I would have been happy to correct the tip but based on her bad attitude It seemed fitting that 1% would be all she deserved tonight.

I wonder what would be her comments for anyone who chooses not to tip at all? Do you disrespect and call out anyone else who dines there who might not have such...
